What did aspirants say about the paper?
Many JEE Main 2022 aspirants told Careers360 that Maths was a bit "lengthy" while Physics and Chemistry were moderately difficult. "It took me longer to solve the Maths portion, but I have completed the entire paper," said Saransh Sharma, an aspirant. Another aspirant, Disha Arora also analyzed the Maths paper as difficult and lengthy. She however found Chemistry easiest, followed by Physics.
How do experts find JEE Main 2022 paper?
The JEE Main paper, according to Saurabh Kumar, Chief Academic Officer of Vidyamandir Classes, was reasonably challenging. He said the Math section was the most difficult, whereas Chemistry and Physics can be seen to be simple. "There were more questions on Organic Chemistry compared to inorganic chemistry. Maths was difficult, Physics had few analytical based questions," he said.
'Chemistry was easiest amongst three subjects'
Meanwhile, Ramesh Batlish, the Head of FIITJEE Noida, a coaching institute for JEE and other competitive exams, described the JEE Main 2022 paper as reasonably challenging. According to him, Maths was moderate level while Chemistry was easiest amongst the three subjects.
